APPENDIX D
When Using The NiCad or NiMH Battery Pack*
Fully charge the battery pack before its first use. The battery pack
requires 12 hours for a full charge and should not be charged in excess of
this time period.. Charge only with the VHF 725 Charging Unit provided
with the NiCad Battery Pack. Partially discharging a nickel-cadmium
battery and then recharging it causes a phenomenon referred to as
“memory reset”. When a battery that is not fully discharged is then
recharged, it resets the memory in proportion to the amount of previous
discharge, resulting in a gradually decreasing recharge capacity. To ensure
that this type of battery pack retains its full capacity, it should be almost
fully discharged (when the battery symbol blinks) and then recharged
completely after every few cycles of use.
* Municipal Law requires for environmentally sound
collection and recycling or disposal of nickel-
cadmium batteries. Contact your local waste
management official for instructions on disposal.
